Won't turn on after heavy use. Acts like a power switch is broke. Less than 3 months old. Is there a reset or fuse to hit?

The vacuum just stopped, dead, while I was vacuuming after about 20 minutes usage. Is there a reset button? It won't turn back on even after 30 minutes of being turned off. It is only a few months old and has been used infrequently.The vacuum just stopped, dead, while I was vacuuming after about 20 minutes usage. Is there a reset button?

I may have figured out a way to make this thing work. If you find that the problem is the flimsy, floppy piece of plastic that I mentioned above, I think that the thing to do is figure out a way to make the narrow sticking out fin-like section that activates the switch wider. I think what happens is that fin slips over to one side or another and then does flip the switch.
What I just did is cut a hard rubber washer into two half circles (or approximate half circles) and attached those on each side of that fin. So now I have a nice wide switch activator. I attached the pieces with exterior mounting tape. I imagine that some sort of adhesive could be used too, as long as it is not something that would dissolve the plastic.

Re: My 2month old hoover bagless stopped working...

It's a crappy design. Take the two long bolts off that hold the piece with the handle on. You will see the actual switch inside. The switch on the handle activates the real switch via a flimsy floppy piece of plastic. Ours sticks on...what a peice of junk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Unfortunately you machine is a re manufactured vacuum and has a 6 month warranty. (The RM suffix indicates this ) You should take it to your local vac shop and let them look at it. It's probably a minor issue.

You could check the motor brushes, if they are worn and check for loose wire connections.Another possibility is that there may be a break in the lead, plug it in and shake the lead, if it starts and stops you have probably found your problem with a broken lead.

if the belt is more than six months old then change it even if it is not broken. then replace your filters if that doesnt work than check the hoses for a clog drop a marble down them and make sure it comes out.
